THE HORAHThe Horah shows three couples in circle surrounding
another couple at the center, all dancing a Hebrew folk dance. It is a
joyous moment and is always danced at weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.

THE ICE CREAM
CONE Here is the most delicious ice cream cone in
the world. And here is the hungriest dog in the world. Panting - and waiting
for the inevitable - the moment when the ice cream will topple off the
cone and patience will be rewarded

THE MULEWhen Sol was in the army in Burma during World War
II, he had a mule which was given to him as a bearer of heavy equipment.
It was his to take care of. Finally, Sol met a more stubbon soul than
he was, and here he depicts the frustration of trying to get the mule
to move. Sol finally did prevail, but the struggle was very real. Obviously,
his affection for this animal stuck in his mind when he created this piece.

THE RABBI A young boy is studying for his Bar Mitzvah
while his rabbi supervises his studies.

THESCRATCHINGPOST The white cat is scratching the furniture while
the black and white cat is using the scratching post. The owner is directing
the white cat to the correct behavior.

THESCULPTURE
A small Sol working at a sculpture while his mother looks on in wonder
at the talent of her young son.

THESHOESHINEBOYThe shoeshine boy has a customer resting his foot
on the shoeshine box. He is flirting with the little girl and is distracted
enough to be polishing his customer's socks, much to the annoyance of
the customer.

THESTUDENTSThe rabbi in this scene is taking two Yeshiva students
through their studies. They are studying for their bar mitzvahs and probably
terrified that they will never learn their Hebrew portion of the Torah.
Since at a bar mitzvah a young boy graduates into manhood, they are also
probably wondering why learning the Hebrew will suddenly transform them.
